The image size. Only use this parameter if the image is less than 220 pixels in width. If so, than indicate the image's respective width in pixels, like this: image_size=200px.

caption

A caption for the image displayed.

native_name

The person's name in their own language, if different.

native_name_lang

ISO 639-2 code, e.g., "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} in |native_name= instead.

birth_name

The birth name of the subject.

fullname

The full name of the subject.

nickname

The subject's common nickname(s). If there is more than one, list the names alphabetically and separate them with commas.

nationality

The subject's nationality. May be used instead of citizenship (below) or vice versa in cases where any confusion could result. Should only be used with citizenship when they somehow differ. Should only be used if nationality cannot be inferred from the birthplace. Do not use a flag template.

citizenship

Country of legal citizenship, if different from nationality. Rarely needed. See usage notes for nationality above. Should only be used if citizenship cannot be inferred from the birthplace. Do not use a flag template.

Significant monuments erected, buildings named, etc., in honour of the subject. If many, link to an appropriate section of the article instead.

education

Education, e.g., degree, institution and graduation year, if relevant. If very little information is available or relevant, the |alma_mater= parameter may be more appropriate.

alma_mater

The sportsperson's alma mater. This parameter is a more concise alternative to |education=, and will most often simply consist of the linked name of the last-attended higher education institution. It is usually not relevant to include either parameter for non-graduates, but article talk page consensus may conclude otherwise, as at Bill Gates.

occupation

Occupation as given in the article lead, including sport and non-sport professions, e.g., Professional [[football (soccer)|footballer]], [[coach]], [[sports journalist]] and [[venture capitalist]]. Try to avoid too much redundancy with the |sport= parameter.

yearsactive

Date range in years of the subject's activity in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable. Use the format 1950–2000, or 1970–present if still active (note the use of an en dash, not hyphen). Do not link dates or years.

other-interests

Undocumented.

Sport

website

Official website only. Unofficial websites should be placed under ==External links== in the body of the article. Use {{URL}} as in {{URL|examplesite.com|ExampleSite.com}}. Do not include the www. part unless the server is misconfigured and requires it. Use camel case capitalization to make multiword domain names easier to read.

country

The country or countries that the subject represents in sport, if any (not all sports involve nationalistic representation). Do not use a flag template. Wikilink the country name only if doing so would not be redundant with links already present in prior parameters. Use {{ubl}} or {{pl}} to format multiple entries, and use common sense explanatory notes if needed: {{ubl|United Kingdom (assoc. football, rugby league)|[[New Zealand]] (rugby union)}}.

sport

The sport(s) that the subject has notably participated in (basketballers dabbling in tournament poker, or cricketers doing celebrity golf fundraisers does not count as notable participation in those sports). Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries; list the events chronologically, alphabetically or by depth of participation, as best suits the article; and give date ranges and other clarifications where appropriate. Link the name of the sport to a suitable Wikipedia article if one is available. Using the footballer example given under |occupation= above, the |sport= value might be {{ubl}}[[Rugby league]] (1991–1992)|[[Association football]] (1992–2001)|[[Rugby union]] (coach, 2001–present).

event

The event(s) or discipline(s) within the sport that the subject specializes in, wikilinked to suitable article(s). Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries, and list the events alphabetically, chronologically or by depth of participation, as best suits the article{{ubl|[[Breaststroke]]|[[Freestyle swimming|Freestyle]]}}. This parameter should be removed when not useful, as in the case of the footballer example given in |occupation= and |sport=, above.

league

The name of the sport league(s), federation(s) or other sanctioning system(s) under which the sportsperson plays/played. It is not necessary to add this parameter if the sport in question has only one such notable organization. For play under/membership in a regional (e.g., continental) federation, it may be useful to name that body and the parent organization, e.g., [[European Pocket Billiard Federation]] ([[World Pool-Billiard Association|WPA]]).

league_type

Change the "League" heading to another word, such as "Federation", "Association", etc., to match the terminology used in the sport.

employer

The subject's employer(s). This is a good place for noting publications that the subject writes articles for, TV shows they are commentators, sporting goods companies for whom they do endorsements, etc. Use {{ubl}} or {{pl}} to format multiple entries, and use common sense explanatory notes if needed, e.g., to distinguish between multiple sports or disciplines.

agent

The subject's agent (individual and/or agency).

height

The subject's height, if relevant.

If the subject is American (or primarily notable in English for playing on an American team, or for participating in U.S. sports) put measurements in feet and inches first, and use a template to convert to meters in parentheses, for example:

If he or she is not American, place measurements in metres first, then use template to convert to feet and inches in parentheses, for example:

{{height|precision=0|m=1.70}} — giving "۱٫۷۰ m (۵ ft ۷ in)"

If the subject's height stated in a source is the converted measurement, tweak the parameters of the {{height}} template if required to ensure that this measurement is accurately stated. For example, if a source states that an American athlete is 1.82 m tall, type {{height|precision=2|ft=5|in=11.7}} to get the result "۵ ft ۱۱٫۷ in (۱٫۸۲ m)" (some experimentation using the "Show preview" button may be required). Indicating {{height|precision=2|ft=6|in=0}}, which would yield "۶ ft ۰ in (۱٫۸۳ m)", would be inaccurate.

For sportspersons who have not reached their adult height, it is very important to add the year when the height was measured, in parentheses (round brackets) after the height.

If he or she is American (or primarily notable in English for playing for an American team, of for participating in U.S. sports), put measurements in pounds first, then in kilograms in parentheses, for example:

Note that the final zero is necessary for correct rounding of kilogram-to-pound conversions.

After the weight, add the year when the weight was measured, in parentheses. Please supply a reference in the same manner as for the subject's height.

universityteamcollegeteam

The team (squad) that the subject plays or played on at his or her university or college in the US sense. Note: you cannot use both of these parameters at once. Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries, and use common sense explanatory notes if needed, e.g., to distinguish between multiple sports or disciplines.

clubteam

The name of the sport club(s) or team(s) that the subject belongs/belonged to, if any, with the years in parentheses. Use {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format multiple entries. Do not use both, unless the terms have distinct meanings in the sport in question (which is not the case with football (soccer) – "club", "team" and "squad" are syonymous (but this template does not support a |squad= parameter).

The name of a notable person who is coaching or once coached the subject, and the years in parentheses after the name.

coaching

The names of notable other sportspeople that the subject is now coaching. Only add the names of persons who have Wikipedia articles about them (no red links). If there is more than one person, arrange the names alphabetically by last name and separate them with commas.

retired

The date or year (not wikilinked) that the subject retired from sports., if applicable. If the subject died before formal retirement, do not add the death date to this parameter, just remove it entirely. Do not link dates or years.

Achievements and titles

worlds

Significant titles the subject has earned at world or international, regional and national competitions, and at the Olympic or بازی‌های پارالمپیک, for example:

Regional means multi-national, not sub-national; sub-national competition is not notable enough for an infobox.

If the sport is not Olympic, then remove the |olympics= parameter.

If the subject does not have a disability, then remove the |paralympics= parameter.

regionals

nationals

olympics

paralympics

highestranking

The subject's highest world ranking (as a cardinal numeral) with the year(s) when this was achieved in parentheses, like this: 1st (2005). Add the discipline/event or other clarifiers if needed: 1st (freestyle, 2005), or use a longer prose description of the title [[2009 WPA Men's World Nine-ball Championship|WPA World Nine-ball Champion (Men's Div., 2009)]].

pb

If applicable, the personal best times the subject has achieved with the years when these were achieved in parentheses, using {{ubl}} or {{PL}} to format list items:

If show-medals=yes, the medal table is displayed uncollapsed. By default, it is hidden and will only be displayed if the "show" link is clicked. The default should be left as is unless there are only three or fewer medals.

Modules

modulemodule2

Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one. These parameters are not usually used directly in articles, and are mainly for creating other infoboxes based on this one with additional parameters. To see how these parameters are used, have a look at how {{Infobox swimmer}} is built.

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
